One Poll

20 July 2009

"It comes as no surprise to learn that a percentage of us are bored with work at times, and deciding what to eat on a daily basis can be tedious.
"But it's easy to avoid the dullness of television adverts, Big Brother and reality television as there are other simpler ways to enjoy life."
The top 50 things which makes us bored also shows that 39 per cent of people can't bear feeling ill, whilst the same percentage loath golf on television.
Thirty eight per cent of Brits are sick and tired of hearing about the MP expenses row, and 32 per cent get impatient listening to hold music when phoning the bank.
Traffic and conjestion are a nightmare for 32 per cent, whilst 13 per cent are bored of taking the same journey to work everyday.
More than one in 10 people are fed up with their wardrobe of clothes, and wish they could have a makeover.
Whilst dieting proves tediuous fo 17 per cent of people.
Other 'bores' include sex life, waiting for nails to dry, worrying about job security, going to the gym, losing the football and waiting for a baby to be born.
Scott O'Donnell continued: "Seven out of 10 people polled admit they log onto the internet when they are feeling bored and this can be a great way to keep the mind occupied.
"The Triviala website offers a host of fun quizzes, so if you like celebrities, moves, sport or history they can distract even the most bored people."
The poll also reveals 3 o'clock in the afternoon as the time we are most likely to feel bored.
And for most people, after logging onto the internet to alleviate their boredom, 51 per cent watch TV and 47 per cent eat.
